FlyBe and the 24 hour cancellation rule
Hi all,
I stupidly booked some flights last night with FlyBe on their cheapest bucket and then realised this morning that I needed to cancel them. Having booked plenty flights with BA, I assumed that I would be covered under the 24hour cancellation rule (especially because I have used such rule with Ryanair before which made me think it was a statutoory protection).
The agenet on the phone said that for cheapest fares no such rule exists. At this point it seems like one to chalk upto experience and move on, but before I do, I thought I'd check here. Was the agent right, or do I have protections within 24hours...the info from a google search seems quite patchy.
Thanks

I really thought the 24 hour cancellation policy was a rule in Europe, that all countries adhered to. It certainly exists in Germany and Switzerland and I have often used it. However, I have learned something new tonight.
